The Pearl of Great Price was a parable told by Jesus Christ to his followers that tells the story of a merchant who sold all that he had to buy one pearl of great price.

Montgomery Scott referred to the story when he was told of Gem and the Vians, comparing Gem to the pearl. Captain Kirk acknowledged the comparison and noted that "whether the Vians bought her or found her makes little difference – she was of great value." (TOS: "The Empath")
